"Atendimento de excelência, desde a entrada na recepção até o final com o Médico! No térreo tem uma cantina muito boa! Banheiro nos andares e bebedouros. Com relação ao meu atendimento, fui fazer um exame complexo nos olhos, os equipamentos são sensacionais, eles estão em outro nível nesse quesito. Outra DICA TOP! Para quem vai de metrô o melhor é a estação Flamengo, pegar a saída B sentido Botafogo, daí dobra primeira esquerda, depois direita e direita novamente, total 7 minutos andando!!!"

"Doctors Maria Victoria and Oswaldo Filho are outstanding physicians. Christy and Anialle(?) in surgery are wonderful nurses and attendants. I can not commend these folks enough. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart!!"
"I had a cyst on my eye. They weren’t able to help with what I needed for a few days. But they really tried. I don’t speak portuguese. So they worked with me which I really appreciate. It was pretty quick of a wait. I really appreciate all the help and how much they cared even though they weren’t able to accommodate me the day when in."
